Interviewer instructions
Question 14
Question 14 attempts to obtain information on whether a person has undergone or is currently attending vocational training. For this question, we are interested in getting information on vocational training on a formal as well as informal basis. It should include vocational schooling, as well as training in skills which a person has received or is currently receiving from various training institutes, such as MARA T1Jlining Institute, Agricultural and Industrial training Institutes, Youth Training Centers and other training
Centers in the private sector. Examples of such training are tailoring courses, electrician courses, apprenticeships or on-the-job training in skills which will enable a person to be specialized in a vocation or job.

Note that formal training in fields such as Accountancy, Hotel Management, which is part of the syllabuses of Universities, MARA Institute of Technology and other Colleges, should not be regarded as vocational training.
